So next door neighbours tenants are due to leave end of the month so need to get rid of the horsebox, I offered a price that you'd give for a rough 4 ton trailer and it's now in our yard.

3/4 size artic.

2 years out of test
Runs well and all works

Very solid.

It's now in our yard and need to know a value before advertising it?

Anyone have a rough idea, know anything about these? Iv no idea what to value it at.

It's also got a private number plate on - P90 WAM. Reckon it's worth taking of or not worth the hassle?

The trouble is you need a class one and not many horsey folk have one. When we were looking for a 7.5t for my wife and daughter I noted that we could get so much more if you went heavier but then I would of had to of gone every bloomin weekend and that wasn't happening. Would the tractor unit have a bit of classic status about it? The problem is getting it plated after two years and the expense that might be.

Lovely little trucks, mostly X brewery units, think their correct name is an Urban Tractor unit. Down side you need a truck license, think maybe 15 or 18T gross as its an 8 studder? Second number on the door will tell you what Volvo designed it to weigh loaded. VOSA plate might be slightly less though ......

Tractor unit £3k
Trailer I'm not sure on, Pattersons will though click
I would think it will depend on condition .................

Lads that sell cherished plates will tell you what the plate is worth, then decide if you want to MOT to tax it allowing for the transfer.
You might get more interest for the tractor unit on its own without the trailer?
Looks to have the back axle is on air, so all good

Do you know age of truck? I reckon it's pushing collectable. I reckon maybe 4K Volvo. High hundreds trailer. Buy a truck trader magazine and have a look at classifieds.

Truck is 1998.

I won't be getting it plated, would prefer it gone without the hassle and expense.
